It's not clear from your post what the restaurant norms are in any of those countries. Having lived in Italy, my experience is that Italians are pretty obsessed with bottled water. Well really bottled spring water to be exact. At resta

That's more of an indictment against bottled water than it is an endorsement for tap water. Both bottled and tap water are too often full of stuff you don't want to be drinking. https://bestlifeonline.com/worst-dri

> developed countries do Too often not. https://bestlifeonline.com/worst-drinking-water/ And that's not an endorsement for bottled water, which has also often been found to be as bad as or worse than tap water.

If you get paid by the hour, sure. But if you are salary, you are reducing your hourly rate by doing this. That means you are cheapening the value of your own time. And you are screwing your co-workers. There is nothing wrong with getting

I asked you to back up your claims with sources. That's pretty common here, and also in scientific circles. We aren't your research assistants so if you want your claims to be taken seriously and discussed in detail, expect to giv

I provided a quote of the claim you made up based on guesses you made and that you have no evidence for. There is nothing wrong with guessing, just admit it next time when someone asks for your source of data. Cute copying me with "pan

I easily fit two 27" monitors in 1/2 of my normal sized suitcase. At first I was super careful how I packed them. But they've lasted so long I just throw some clothes around them for the past few years. Full size mechanical k

What percentage of Twitter users are saying it's turning into 4chan? A handful of users arguing in bad faith isn't worth pointing out, so the numbers are important.

This is hilarious. Musk forked over billions in excess value to Twitter shareholders and millions to executives with sweet exit packages. I'm just guessing that Twitter users are going to say "thanks nah" to paying his bill f

I'm not having trouble finding Facebook data. Did you get that idea from me asking you to back up your own claims? Yes paywalls are easy to bypass. It's also a reasonable choice to respect them.

Good to see you finally backing up your claims with sources. The first source is paywalled though. Yes user-wise they do seem to be doing fine, but I'd like to know where the growth is happening. That's important. The 2nd source h

You're not even approaching what would be considered a scientific and somewhat useful study. You can move away from a platform without a complete stop. I've seen people who used to post on Facebook on a daily basis claim to leave,

Maybe people just don't want to use a company run by someone they abhor. Does there need to be a point other than that?
